Flushing my black water tank about 3 times can get it from Full to 2/3 - sometimes. Haven't had it at 1/3 or E for several months.

And, from REV, there is no way to troubleshoot the sensors (that they let me know about). I'm sure there is; but you know how they are.

There statement was to use chemicals or to bring it to them.

When I was at the Decatur service center their technique for checking the sensors was super high tech...just kidding fill it with water then empty it...that was their method

Lithium Batteries

Has anyone switched over from the 4 6volt house batteries to lithium? Coach batteries need replaced and I am considering the Battle Born. I have 2 solar panels on roof but the lead 6 volt batteries got fried when I moved and had to let coach sit for months. I also do not know if I would just need two 12volt lithium to give me the same or better power. Any help would be appreciated

As indicated in my thread it is complicated. The newer Bounder (and MANY) newer Class A's are complicated. The BCC is the major one because of the higher voltage of the lithium batteries. I will not go into the details but make sure Battle Born understand the BCC and it's functionality. I forget the device but they may simply recommend install a device to disconnect the alternator periodically so the lithiums are not always being fully charged. I did this manually as when I did the install there was no such device.
You'll have to move them from under the stairs too so they are not out in the weather IMO.
Best of luck and do reply back what they say.
